Four different Panthers found the end zone to help the Washougal High School football team defeat Tenino 28-7 Friday, at Fishback Stadium.

Brandon Casteel slithered over the defender and stretched his arms across the goal line for a touchdown.

The Washougal High School track and field teams went above and beyond the call of duty to defeat Hockinson and Woodland Thursday, at Fishback Stadium. Brendan Casey had a busy day on the ground and in the air. The best part was launching the javelin 170 feet, 6 inches to win the event. Not only was it a personal best throw for the Panther, it also ranks third in the state for 2A schools on athletic.net. "I felt that one popping, and I knew it was going far," Casey said. "It makes me feel great, but I know I still have things to work on. Hopefully, I'll continue to improve as the season goes along."
It was 64 degrees and sunny Friday afternoon, and the tennis balls were out in Camas. After weeks of indoor practices and re-scheduled matches, the Papermaker girls anxiously warmed up for their first home match of the season. Dark gray clouds crept in from a distance, and the threat of rain remained constant, but the athletes, coaches and spectators did not have a care in the world. On this day, the sun ruled and the rain lost. "I told the kids the sun would come, but I don't think they believed me," said Camas head coach Jonathan Burton.
Adam Allison brought thunder and Parker Roland came back with lightning. The two Camas High School boys soccer players struck with goals in the 11th minute, and the pouring rain, to propel the Papermakers to a 7-0 victory over Columbia River March 29, at Doc Harris Stadium. Drew White delivered two goals and two assists in his first game back at left wing. "I love playing soccer in general," White said. "Any position I play on the field, I'm going to have fun with it."
